Tanner likely to return in September

The Chute Boxe USA website is becoming quite the source for breaking news. In a recent post, the site’s operators have announced that Evan Tanner will be making his UFC return and will likely be fighting in September.

Tanner is a former UFC middleweight champ who has been missing in action, so to speak, due to some personal demons he’s been dealing with. He most recently decided to return to fighting and decided to train with the Chute Boxe USA camp. Tanner was once a mainstay with Team Quest.

It’s hard to say how much he has left in the tank at this age, but if the old Evan Tanner can make his way back than the UFC middleweight division will have even greater depth and a future title contender.
